intermiDgliDg and intercommunication of
the several peoples Of the ear n. and one
of the chief advantages resulting from
this grand Industrial exhibition will
:. doubtless be that it has served only to
bring the people and products of skilled
labor from our own state into friendly
rivalry, but it has drawn vast concourse
i of free and intelligent people from abroad
which must prove great benefit in the
information impaired and pride of country
engendered. We should not forget that
the true strength Of country does not
consist SO much in the extent of it's terri
tory, or sum total of it's property and
values, as in thoroughly smalgamated
people, who can heartily join as CO.
partners in business and friends IN in
dustry, and while it 10 neither wise nor
desirable to seek forced or artificial
growth OF our state by the accession of
population in utter poverty, because
they have no aspirations to prov their
condition, and being destitute of all am
bition, which high CiviliZ alton inspires,
or unwilling to starve and yet disinclined
to work, men of debauched lives, VINO
can neither learn virtues nor forget
vices, who simply desire to make our
state 8 common cruising ground for the
as these are positive calamity to our
moral and political health.
When the Missouri river throws its
muddy flood into the Mississippi, thus
vast volume Of water never sgsln RECEIVERS
it's original purity, but ,ws down its en-
tire course in a foul, discolored aud
turbid condition until lost in the gulf;
and when an undesirable stream

current into the great body polite Of our
state, It's polluted track will become Wis
ible in our general society for long years
to come. S that, while we do not desire
strength of numbers with loss Of charac-
ter we want them with alacritY and affec-
tiop, those who desire to accept the OPP
portunities to be found in our rich soil
exuberant in the production of all the
: grasses, cereals and staples, our quar-
RES of marble, beds of copper, iron and
coal existing in mountain masses; Of tim
Der snffi Gent, mills, fences and furniture
for 500 years; and our unsurpassed
water power which long ages
has been waiting to be
spprenticed to the servitude OF machinery
We want men of intellect aud energy to
appreciate the wealth to be obtained by
; honest industry, to occupy this great
field of assured prCf5, and at the same
time augment our capital by trsnsferrence
of their economic value as producers and
: the txchangable value of all property be-
! longing to them.
The noble mother of Grachii, when
called upon to display her jewels, with
that maternal pride which has caused he1
name to live in ages, pointed to her sons,
who were the upholders of her country Is

upon to-day to designate the fair.
D est and truest jewels of Texas
l should point you to our noble women,
who are the queens OF our domestic anG

D ing by enterprise and energy to the uu.
! bounded success OF this exhibition Of
: Texas resources. None deserve higher
need of praise than they, and in their
q name, too, express the hope that you
will accept this welcome in the sincere
and hearty manner in which it was ten
: dered. Tremendous applause.
At the conclusion of Governor Ross
address the crowd dispersed and each
sought as best he might such objects as
would be of interest to him. A company
Of boy zouaves elected much merited
, praise by the manner in which they &C.
, quilted themselves in an exhibition drill
in the presence of the Governor and
s spectators. One or two races were run
or trotted, and the sun sank
admonishiugly. Everybody is well pleased
and the fair is bound to prove q grand
1 success. Like all large fairs and exposi
lions people are late, and it will take
some little time to have things looking
+hoS- h,n hY1&4 no hnr Of IL
and inexhaustible supply of exhibits is al
that is necessary to make it the greatest
exposition ever held in Texas.
